The biggest criticism of PLO solvers? They teach you to play like a GTO robot in games full of humans.
If you are grinding PLO10 to PLO500, playing a perfect GTO strategy is often leaving money on the table. You don’t need “balance” against a whale who plays 85% of hands; you need to crush them.
Run It Once Poker Training has just answered the call.
In their latest update for Vision GTO Trainer, they have introduced Exploitative Simulations. This isn’t just about playing “optimal” anymore. It’s about learning the exact mathematical adjustments to destroy the three most common player types you face every day:
- The Nit
- The Maniac
- The Whale.
Here is the breakdown of the update and why it is a game-changer for mid-stakes grinders.
⚠️ Update: Want to see these exploits in action? We have embedded the full video breakdown by Elite Coach Hunter Cichy at the bottom of this article.
🤖 The Problem: “GTO Paralysis”
Most PLO training sites teach you a “Baseline Strategy.”
- GTO Solver says: “Open 35% from the Small Blind.”
- You do it: You fold huge value because the Big Blind is a nit who folds 90% of the time.
Hunter Cichy, Elite Coach at Run It Once, breaks it down in his latest video release: “Stop Playing PLO Like a Robot.”
The new Vision update adds specific “Node-Locked” Simulations. These are pre-solved trees where the “opponents” are forced to play like specific bad players, showing you exactly how to deviate from GTO to print maximum EV.

🔍 The 3 New Archetypes (And How to Exploit Them)
The new update focuses heavily on Blind vs. Blind scenarios. The spots where your win rate swings the most. Here is what the new Vision sims teach you to handle:
1. The Nit (Gray Tag)
- The Stats: Folds to steal 50%+, 3-Bets <5%.
- The Mistake: They play “fit or fold” and give up their blinds too easily.
- The Vision Exploit: The solver shows you how to ramp up your aggression massively. Instead of a standard opening range, Vision demonstrates opening nearly 91% of hands from the Small Blind.
- Key Takeaway: Against a Nit, if you have four cards, you probably have an open.
2. The Whale (Green Tag)
- The Stats: VPIP 75%+, but passive. They call everything but rarely raise.
- The Mistake: They let you realize your equity for free.
- The Vision Exploit: The sims shift from a “Raise or Fold” strategy to a Heavy Limping Strategy (45%+). Because the Whale won’t punish your limps with raises, you get to see cheap flops with speculative hands that would normally be folds.
3. The Maniac (Purple Tag)
- The Stats: 3-Bets 25%+, Isolates Limps 80%+.
- The Mistake: They put too much money in the pot with weak ranges.
- The Vision Exploit: This is the most complex adjustment. Vision teaches a “Limp-Raise” Strategy. Instead of opening and folding to a 3-bet, you limp with your monsters. When the Maniac inevitably raises, you come over the top, trapping them in a massive pot where they are drawing dead.
🛠️ How to Drill This (The Workflow)
This update isn’t just a video; it’s integrated into Vision Streak (Quiz Mode).
You can now select “Exploitative Mode” in your settings.
- Vision deals you a hand (SB vs BB).
- It assigns the opponent a specific tag (Nit, Whale, Maniac).
- You have to choose the correct action based on that opponent.
This builds the muscle memory you need in real-time. You stop thinking “What is GTO?” and start thinking “Who am I playing against?”
💰 The Verdict & Deal
If you are tired of breakeven sessions where you play “perfectly” but don’t win, this is the tool you need. It bridges the gap between Theory and Street Poker.
Run It Once Vision is premium software, but for serious grinders, it pays for itself in one stack.
